Principal Brown Avsaulted in the Sumner Building py Miss Savoy's Brother, A scandal in the colored schools that has been in a smouldering condition for several months broke out yesterday afresh at the Sumner School Dullding, When Jos. Savoy visited the building, as it 4s charged, for the purpose of inflicting puntsh- ment on Ellis W. Brown, the principalot the building. Brown was sometime ago charged with improper intimacy with Savoy's sister, a teacher in the schools, and on that account he was not renominated to his place as principal of the Sumner Building at the meet- Ang of the school board in July, when the other teachers were nominated. Ata subsequent meet- ing, however, the committee on teachers made a report exonerating Mr. Brown and setting forth that the person making the changes, though in- ited to do so, bad tated to offs ‘anything to sub. stantiate them, Mr. Brown was thereupon ap- pointed to hts’ old ‘position, It was asserted by friends of Mr. Brown that Miss Savoy, who had made charges against him, insanely” imagined them to be true," Joseph Savoy, her brother, does hot seem to have accepted the school board report asfnal. He yesterday visited the Sumner Butld- ing and created a scene. IN THE POLICE COURT TO-DAY. ‘The result Was that Savoy was charged tn the Police Court to-day with having yesterday as- saulted Ellis W. Brown, the principal ot the Sum- ner School. Principal Brown testified that the trouble took place in the hallot the Sumner School building; that Savoy came there and sald, ‘Come with me,” and witness declining to go with him, Savoy struck witness on the arm. Witness then got his pistol, and directed the Janitor to put, Savoy out. He further stated that in consequence Of Savoy’s previous threats he carried a pistol. ‘There Were at least Nifty of the pupils of the school Present at the time, and there was almost a panic.
